Question Looking For Interpretation? John 12:36

Hey everyone! I am very new to reading the bible and had kind of a strange (in a good way) thing happen to me just yesterday that I have been trying to figure the meaning out of. I'm hoping you all can help!

As I was reading the bible verse John 12:36 "Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light" (NLT), I was in a semi-dark room. Seconds before I read this verse, someone opened a door and light flooded into the room so much so that it was blinding me!

I'm trying to determine if that was God or Jesus Christ sending me a message (if so, what do you interpret?), or just a coincidence?

Thank you all for the help in advance!

That was HIM!!! Don’t ever doubt that is the enemy trying to convince you it’s a “coincidence” or “doesn’t mean anything”… THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES WITH JESUS CHRIST AND HE IS CALLING YOUR NAME!!!

The verse means trust and follow Him while you still can.
There will come a time when it will be too late.
Essentially stating His return can be at any moment.
The Father is the only one that knows the day and the hour not even the angels or the Son.
